Help Ladies! I am going crazy trying to come up with stuff to eat. I have breakfast covered and always come up with dinner ideas but lunch and snacks have me frustrated. Doesn't help that DD runs right to the refrigerator when we get home for school and starts grabbing stuff before I can make a good lunch.
I am tired of fruit leather, cheese sticks, yogurt and cut up fruit.

What do you make for lunch everyday?

We are big on soups here. Bubbs is fine with canned soup. We do a lot of wraps too. I let him make them sometimes. Hummus, peanut butter, cream cheese or beans on wraps.

As for snacks, popcorn, yogurt, cereal - dry, chocolate milk, salami (my child's favorite food with mustard). If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.

I've been on a quesadilla kick here lately...I use whole wheat tortillas and do refried beans or black beans with a little reduced fat cheese and dip it in salsa. You could also buy those grilled chicken strips pre-cooked and add those in along with any veggies you like. It's fast and filling.

For snacks...popcorn, pretzels, carrots, Babybel cheeses, pickles, banana, handful of almonds, dry cereal, Fiber One bars (for me).

G only have lunch with me ion teh weekends adn one day we are at work so it's kind of weird. But I do (for me too) a lot of quesadillas, G it's more likely to eat something if it's between tortillas. For her I made chicken sandwiches with grill chicken breast and weath bread and I eat lots of salads. For snack: fruit, fruit, fruit, ff popcorn, yogurt, rice crackers, cheese and pretzels, hummus, flavor cream cheese and crackers, baby carrots and cereal.
If later I remember something else I'll post it.

We are grilled cheese and apple fans here. The boys like it made open faced like a pizza and put in the broiler. I have to say, it's delicious!!!

Also, we do alot of simple things for lunch-soups, ham/cheese roll ups, veggies and dips, edemame, left overs from dinner...I do easy for lunch and more complicated dinners.
